Team Rubicon UK has launched its biggest relief operation ever in the Caribbean, rushing dozens of volunteers to islands where weary residents are struggling to cope after Hurricane Irma and Maria ripped through the region.

On some islands, barely a house was spared. From the sky, our volunteers have peered through gaping roofs into smashed and shattered rooms where treasured possessions have been reduced to little more than firewood. On the ground, they helped shell-shocked residents who were doing their best to pick up the pieces of their lives.

The scale of the damage is almost unimaginable but with your support Team Rubicon UK were able to respond on a significant scale in the Caribbean, with 78 volunteers - predominantly military veterans and emergency responders - on the most affected islands. We will continue to have a presence on the islands until at least early November.

So far we have achieved

- 260 Needs assessments conducted

- 89 Work orders completed to bring aid to 4711 beneficiaries

- Purified 53,160 litres of water

- 19km of routes cleared

- 37 Emergency shelter repairs

- Movement of over 700 Tonnes of emergency stores

Please donate now so that we can give our brave and dedicated volunteers the chance to do what they do best: bringing practical, immediate, vital help to people who are enduring so much.
